Joshua plans to add to his collection the generations of WBC and WBO, since he already owns them of the IBF and the WBA.

In one video message was Wilder, who asked Joshua not to escape the long - awaited duel.

Hearn hopes to quickly appoint a duel with Dayton Wilder, even though Joseph Parker remains an open option for the British.

I'll sit down with (Wilder representatives) Shelly Finkel and Al Haymon at the weekend to talk for the first time about a duel between Wilder's Joshua”, Hearn told Sky Sports.

If all the other duels are not easy, we'll find that we can find a compatibility between reality and fantasy that suits all of the”.

I've had a good meeting with Anthony Joshua, and it's his goal to become the undisputed champion of the world's heavy category no further than in 2018, so to do that, we have to go after Wilder's Parker”, the Potencoi promotor Eddie Hearn.

Joshua is the main target for Wilder and Parker, the WBC and WBO champions respectively.

Wilder is able to arrange a duel with Joshua according to President W BC, Mauricio Sulaiman.

“WBC has opened the way for Wilder Joshua's duel. The WBC champion must fight the mandated contestant once a year. Wilder's been doing what he wants with what's gone. He is absolutely free”, the president of WBC stressed.

Joshua defended his titles in the WBA and the IBF after defeating Carlos Taka in a highly fought duel in Cardiff, Wales.
